Is anyone feeling tired?

Hi Everyone, I'm almost 5 months out. I had my surgery on 3/21/03 and so far I've lost 68 pounds. I've been feeling really tired this last month and I was wondering if anyone else was feeling that way. I went to my reg. medical doctor and had him run blood work and he said everything looks fine. He said we will just keep an eye on it and it might be caused by my rapid weight loss. I've also been seeing things about "free flowing estrogen" could this be the cause? Any ides?? Thanks, Heidi

Hi Heidi, I had my surgery 3 days after you. Sorry to hear your not feeling quite right. I have not been tired at all. I have more energy that I can ever remember having. I have lost 85 lbs. Are you getting enough protein? Vitamins? I can tell when I haven't taken my vitamin for the day. Once I take it I perk right up. My blood work came back all at normal or above also. I have heard people talk about vitamin B12 also. My surgeon never mentioned it but I talked to my PCP about it and said mine looked great and we would cross that bridge if/when it ever became necessary. That might be something to look into. Hope you get over the "tired" feeling. Jan

WATER...WATER.WATER...That's what they told me at the doctor's office. Feeling tired or dizzy???? Drink lots of water. Are you getting your gallon of water a day??

I'm new at this. I just found all of you. I had surgery March 7, 2003 at MCO in Toledo, Ohio. Feeling like a totally new person. My energy levels are of the chart. And my joints, hips and knees are doing much, much better. I actually got called a "Hottie" today. WOW! No one ever called me that before. Am looking forward to reading all of your posts. Will post more later. Dawn post-op 3/7/03 Dr. Kligman/MCO -92#
